Ok I just about had a break down,My husband is getting on my nerves my kids are driving me nuts and I want to just wipe it all away and I have had a bad headache it just is pounding I have no relief with it I hate this I was having such a good week and it now seems like hell I am usually very positive but it feels weird right now I feel very confused I am 15 days into ct and I just don't understand this why now after all I have overcome this past two weeks this feels like a major set back please if anyone can give any insite on this please do.............
If you hang on, and don't use, it will get better. Ihave kids too, and I know how they can suck the life out of you...he he. Everything is mom's job...
So, just hang on. IF you go back now, you only have to ride this out again. HOw about getting everyone out for some exersize? Or ice cream? I know "changing the space" works alot for me when I feel like that.
You can make it...you might feel better in just a short while.

Walk away... take a step back, take a breath.. go for a walk, it will help. But remember you CAN NOT USE. Is there anyone you can call to talk things out.?

new beginning,your probally experinceing some post withdraw with the nerves and headache thing going on and family stress on top just makes it that much worse,if your able alittle alone time never hurt no one even for a walk around the block and breathing that nice cool air can do wonders,and after your walk take a nice hot bath and watch a good movie,just try to unwind and take care of yourself for tonight then tomorrow will be a differnt day............vinny.
How old are the kids? Put them to bed..Heck it is almost 10 here. Put them to bed, do you have any magazines? People is always great when you need to take a break? Sit down and read. Remember, to stay calm, you will think clearer when you stay calm. You are into 15 days, which is awesome..now your brain is trying to figure out how to handle all of this stress right now without pills..you can do this, remember you went through w/d's, you can handle an argument, and kids that are hyped up now. Piece of cake..LOL, hang in there, this will pass, Kim
When I have times like that, I lock myself in my room, turn off the lights, shut the blinds, and lie down and concentrate on your breathing. Think about something like the beach or mountains. I don't know if you could do it, leaving the kids unsupervised, I don't remember how old you said they were, but my husband helps me. I call it "Mommy is in time out".
Thanks so much to all you that posted for me I am not doing so great to day this headache will not go away took two extra stre.tylenol and its not easing it but I have no access to other stuff I don't have a job and no med.ins. and my husband will give me enough money to get things for the house like food and etc.and I have to show all reciepts for everything and give change back if any.So I have a secure way of not getting pills pretty much I wanted it this way for times like this I had a rough night I just don't understand I have been doing so well for the past week and its 16 days to day what is going on it just seems to be going backward oh and by the way the kids are 6,5,4 and seem to be just taking advantage of this whole thing like they just think they can get away with whatever and don't listen to anything I say......Don't know what to do just want this to go away....................
Say the serenity prayer, and remember that it's one day at a time.
One of the biggest positives to come out my addiction has been the realization that I never verbalized that I needed my space. I never set boundaries, and today it seems like such an obvious thing to do. But then again for so many years I lived so much of my life inside my head, never expressing myself other than to just say all is fine, etc. I stuffed so many feelings, and drugs/alcohol were my "excuse" to not deal with life on life's terms.
Good luck to you.

I'm glad to hear that you have no way to get pills, I'm in the same boat and sometimes I believe that, sadly, that's the only reason I'm not using this minute.
Stay strong! You were so right when you told me that sometimes you just have to breathe and let it pass, because it will get better. I'm aware that I have many "bad days" to look forward to, yet, but the ultimate bad day would be relapsing and starting all over again. I'm sorry that your kids are acting up, I really can't imagine having that much responsibility and quitting pills at the same time. Of course, you have a lot to be joyful about, and a great reason to come off pills in them, too. You could get a project going, keep busy. Stay hydrated and get a massage. Talk about it. You can make it through the day and that's all you should worry about right now. Everything else will be taken care of too, but only after you take care of yourself.

Thank alot but being a stay at home mom is very hard and tim eto myself right is not an option at the moment but maybe I will later today but I am trying to breathe and get pass it but you no west your so right cause if I had access I probably would to but I just have got to get some air does anyone have any...........
Dont ignore the headache like I did. I took excedrine migraine and found myself calling 911. Had a stroke like incident. Go to the drugstore and get your pressure checked..
I am only 28 why would be having a stroke or something like that can that happen to some one at such a young age .........
Wiverson, did you have an anuresym or was it just a straight stroke. Some people are born with this anuresym in their head, and it's a thinning of an artery. If your blood pressure gets to high then they it can start to leak or burst. Usually, the symptoms are an extreme headache almost like a migraine but in one area, and it's like pain than you've ever felt. If you have high blood pressure and your head is splitting I would go and have it checked out to make sure. I'm sure it's nothing but a regular old headache.
Yeah I am sure that it is it just feel like maybe a tension headache I had a little anxiety last night verses not having any at night for a week so that was alittle scary I am not sure but,my withdrawls were bad for the first 3 days when going cold turkey but after that it just seem like I was waiting for more pain and just a whole lot more the unexpected I believe was what was bothering me so much in the beggining but I am 16 days into this and I have been having those good days for almost a week and it just feels crazy feeling this way my stomach is botering me to just crampy feeling but I have IBS too and have had it for a long time was taking Dicyclomine but ran out of script and have no ins. so you know how that goes and I don't want to be in a doctor setting if you no what i mean
N.B. Stress from the W.D. will causes your head too hurt. I wouldn't worry about it. Try to lie down for even a little while with a cold washcloth over your eyes and concentrate on breathing and saying "Relax" on inhale and "just relax" on exhale. You will feel your body relaxing.
Thanks kansas I will try that..........God bless you
New,
Take it moment by moment sometimes. I literally used to count the minutes. You're doing great on your 2 weeks.
It will get better. You can make it better, day by day.
Redd

New,
